The item is shipped in a thin cardboard box with literally no packing. That being said, it managed to arrive in good shape. It was not hard to assemble by oneself, as long as you take your time and follow the simple directions carefully. The welding and paint job is average at best but it is overall a pleasant piece of furniture. Simple for my simple home. Very nice for the money. My air mattress works well on it though the mattress is a little bigger than a twin. I was able to add a couple inches to the length by using the second screw hole in the middle of the sidebars. It does not seem to affect the integrity of the sturdy structure. Then I also removed the little plates in the same spot of the sidebars. Works great!
Miracle it arrived unscathed
